just got it off the board for 1500

89 crx si with b16 swap

i am starting to try and access what is the problem, this is what i know.


swap was done by colin about 2 yrs ago, it looks farely clean still.

whatever battery i try wont get power to start car, i can get headlights and clock ect,,, but when i turn the headlights on all the other stuff dims but the headlights work fine

you can jump the starter to the battery and the car will turn over but not start. i also checked the power and grounds for good connections and tested them to see if there was a short which there was not.

i am starting to wonder if its the main relay or someshit.
cuz right now i turn the key and get jack shit.

i looked for blown fuses and loose wires and found nothing. the harness seams to be fine, and where the ecu is looks clean also

any help is appreciated
and if ur real smart and can help fix i can pay u

 

Try changing ou the whole fusebox.

 

i got a whole 91 teg for parts its the same fuse box right?

 

yeah same box. Check the fuses though to make sure they are the same values.

 

fixed it

the ignition wire was not goin all the way to the starter
made a jumper off the ignition all good

 

u got it running? awsome wish i coulda

 

so it was the ignition switch than when u hooked the starter back up it ran right?

 

no the ignition wire was not making it all the way to the starter.
we spliced into the correct wire and ran a new wire into the harness so the starter would get power.

when u had the car the ignition switch was bad and the wire had a break in it thats why when u jumped the starter it wouldnt start cuz the ignition.

 

its always those gay little things, well have fun w/ it now that its running, like i said it was going to be ur gain and my lose
